We’ve shot at the Old Courthouse on Lakeside Road quite a few times, but this our first ceremony at the Courthouse, and a beautiful ceremony location it is. Expectations for the weather were low, but it shaped up to be a beautiful day in Cleveland anyway, so we actually spent quite a bit of time shooting outside.
Joe pinched himself. He couldn’t believe the day had come and he was about to turn around to see his beaming bride Jackie. Maybe it was nervousness or maybe it felt to good to be true and he was afraid to wake from this dream. Thankfully it wasn’t a dream!
After 6 years Jackie and Joe finally decided to tie the knot out in the country at Conrad Botzum Farmstead. Both were heavily involved in the wedding planning process and gained a lot of inspiration from the 1940s. A lot of the details were hand made including the different signs that Joe painted himself. While rain was looming in the forecast all day and made some appearances, we still managed to get great images near and around the farm.
This is chapter 3 in the documentation of Kael’s life. For this photo session, we chose a location that his parents, Jimmy and Becci, are very familiar with. We photographed their engagement session in Peninsula Ohio and the nearby parks based on the fact they spend a lot of time bicycling in that area.
Jarod and Rachel planned their wedding from out of town, which is never easy, and the details came together beautifully including the weather. With an early ceremony at St John’s cathedral in downtown Cleveland, we had time for creative photos around town before heading to the Old Courthouse for a festive wedding reception.
For their wedding, Alex and Ashley wanted to avoid the hotel feeling for their reception because they are all too familiar with staying in hotels. They also wanted out of town guests to enjoy their time in Cleveland and see what the city has to offer. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a great pick for them providing great views of the city and a fun atmosphere.
No couple wishes for rain on their wedding day but when it happens, everyone needs to adjust and make the most of the situation. That is exactly what Katie and Ryan did for their Stan Hywet wedding. Sure they were hoping for a outdoor ceremony on the lovely grounds surrounding the mansion but they were quick to make the most of it regardless. Ryan and Katie, along with their bridal parties and families even braved some rain to take outside images for which we are appreciative (and I’m sure they will be as well once they see the images). Thanks for your flexibility! It was such a pleasure being around you both all day and witnessing your sweet temperaments. We are thrilled with the images and hope you will be too!
Remember Heidi and Aaron’s vintage picnic engagement session? If you liked that, you’ll definitely love the wedding. We knew going into it that this wedding was going to be unique and well executed and it did not disappoint. Everything down to the smallest of details stayed true to Heidi and Aaron’s vision of a wedding straight from the 1930′s. Heidi even went so far as to collect enough authentic cuff links and broaches from that time period to give out to the guests as favors.
We began Kate and Adam’s engagement session at their beautiful new home where Adam, on the night that they closed on the house, proposed to Kate in the living room. It was fun to see how excited Kate was about doing an engagement session and even more fun when we got to show them the [...]
